>Display P3 claims it has more colors>enable Display P3 preview in Clip Studio Paint >colors changed to become nicer>reddish shadows on skin look more beautiful, wow this is so cool now I can make more beautiful anime>check color picker>it's still 256 discrete values per RGB channel>it did not increase to give me more values to account for the supposed "increased" "wider" gamutI am in shock. So does this mean P3 is a scam or something? I cannot go back to sRGB now, the preview version looks much worse even if it is kind of scammy? Is there any point to it if uploading to Elon's site just makes the colors washed out again?
>>8077674A bit ago, back when I was messing around with a Ghidra MCP tool alongside Antigravity, I was working on modding Clip Studio Paint 4 to add an HSY' color picker (like the one in Krita), and a grayscale toggle keyboard shortcut that behaves like Krita's perceptual grayscale softproofing mode, which doesn't require a separate black color layer to check values. Would need to test it on the latest CSP release to make sure it can work though. But lately, been working on using Claude Opus to help rewrite Krita to do as much stuff on the GPU as possible, while also optimizing startup times, loading times (especially with clone layers and fill layers), amongst other things. Since that is the software I primarily use, and I was baffled by how much faster Procraft/Procreate is. So far there's like around 20,000 lines of code (modified or otherwise) as a part of these changes. Filters, drawing the actual canvas, perspective guides, and layer compositing is much faster on the GPU, but the work on porting the brush engine to the GPU so far has been minimal gains. Vulkan rendering is now an option alongside Metal, and you can pick the GPU used for rendering. I had a .kra file that had a bunch of clone layers and fill layers on it that took my Ryzen 7 9800X 3D like 104 seconds to load into, but with a bunch of the patches, it brings that down to 8 seconds. Time-lapse recordings now directly encode frames to a video file using ffmpeg and GPU encoding to save on space (I've had 20 hour projects that use up 60GB of JPG timelapse images and that's just unacceptable). I plan to test the GPU brush engine on an AMD FX 8350 setup to throw the absolute worst CPU I can at it. Got any other suggestions on quality of life changes I could add?
>>8080107The worst thing about Krita is the brush engine in general. If you could get .abr format brushes to work 1:1, there would be much less reason to use CSP and PS.
move alonghaving p3 display wont automatically improve your composition and fundamental skill
>>8080112>brush engine in general.Kek, this is the most unhinged thing I've read in a while
>>8077409All you need to know for digital illustration is:1) Just keep the sRGB preview toggled on at all times, (2) and when it's time to export you imbed the sRGB profile to the exported files.3) Also get something like a SpyperPro to get accurate colors and values. You WILL not get them right otherwise.
I used to be able to draw for 10 consecutive hours a day and slowly It became less and less, now I can barely draw 10 minutes before having to stop and scroll fucking social medias and it's ruining my Life, how do you stay consistent.I Will ditch my phone yes
>>8080092Wow that's like the story of my life. You know it's bad when you say "another field" instead of specifying, it's damage control mode.
>>8080095Ditching the phone really helps though
>>8080096Yeah I spent many years on it and put lots of work instead of just working some job at cafe and getting paid for it instead of pursuing my passions and dreams that seems to be dimmer and dimmer by the day (:
>>8080098I was full hardcore mode when I didn't have a phone but a dumb phone and my browser was limited. I'd reach the point when I'd goon once a week to my imagination at most, my peak "degeneracy". It doesn't mean much, if your mental and/or physical state is bad, you just can't be productive
>>8079845>scroll fucking social mediasWhat a fucking imbecile holy shit hahahahahah
Drawers who successfully dealt with hand/finger/wrist pain, how did you do it? I'm starting to develop pain around the wrist area and back of my hand.
>>8074910It doesn't solve all the pain. But I feel better, thanks.
i kind of just got used to it but now my hand crunches whenever i roll my wrist so like idk man up and watch your posture
>>8074502>>stopped death gripping the pencilThis, anons here need to get lifting. You learn you don't need to grip much at all and that's while holding lots of weight, then holding a pen without deathgripping it becomes easy plus lifting is good for you
>>8074496>>8074502i haven't yet developed anything serious, but a few times my carpals and back of thumbs have hurt from drawing/gaming that i recovered from with a few days of resting my hands in neutral positions and stretches (the one where you curl your thumb into an improper fist and bend your wrist down. take it SLOW but it really helps).that being said, i do pixel art in krita and screwing around in blender. i use a wireless vertical mouse for this, the only thing that really gets overextendedr regularly is my lefthand pinky finger that needs to stretch to reach the CTRL key for hotkeys, which i use a lot.i really do think that computer mice, especially vertical ones, are easier on the body than pencil-shaped objects. but learning to not use excessive force is a must.my family suffers from joint arthritis issues genetically. my mum cannot use her thumbs without regular injections, but for me it's my upper and mid spine that's fucked up due to being a giant fat guy with bad core strength. i am at the very least fortunate that i can use my hands well.
>>8079958heavy stuff
After years of goofing around and not getting anywhere, I've decided to actually study art.Where should I begin? One thing I'm going to do is the classic 'copy Bridgman twice'. Anything else? And if I, say, no-life Bridgman over a short period of time, is that more or less effective than sprinkling it over a longer period of time? And if I get good at anatomy thanks to doing this, how much of it translates to other areas of drawing, or do I similarly have to autistically study every single subject I draw?I never studied in school, if you couldn't tell.
>>8080058If you want to get better at drawing faces, there's a lot you can do to improve:>get a plastic skull and study it constantly from various angles>draw a LOT of faces and portraits>use the Loomis method, the Reily method, the Asaro method, etc
>>8080052>>8080054>>8080056Thanks so much, guys. I truly, really appreciate it. I'll get started immediately.
>>8080066I mean, you unironically just need to start drawing and draw what you genuinely enjoy, maybe even draw what you enjoy in some simpler formAn easy check for this - if you constantly check your clock, measure how much time you've been drawing something, and you're not in a situation like you have to go somewhere with a strict time limit, then you don't really enjoy the time you've spending drawing this and you need to think of what you enjoy want to draw and how, so you can easily spend even 1/2 a day, skip meals potentially, just because of how much you're focused and interested in the process
>>8080066Taking care of your health is also crucial. Eat well and make sure you're getting enough vitamins and nutrients. Quality restful sleep is important for learning.Here's some help for drawing bodies:>study the skeleton>study dynamic poses (athletes and dancers)>study clothed bodies>study nudes
Frequently when I am drawing from a reference, I do a lot of "blind drawing" where I am looking at the reference, choose a line/angle/whatever and then draw that without away from the reference and back to the paper. Is this a bad habit I should try to fix, or is it what I should be doing?

>>8080063Jokes on you, I'm a nodrawer who put his dick in paint and made a few paintings using this method quite literallyI'm related to art because I work in the industry, but my position doesn't involve drawing.
>>8080068it involves drawing the cum out of jewish balls lmoa
>>8080070No, the closest thing I ever did to this was on one of my private sessions when I put a brush on my dick, inside of the pinhole and draw with it. I had to stay hard for long enough for this to work out and perform difficult moves and also keep track of the picture I was drawing... Desu it was more about the show rather than the end result
>>8080027>Make art for a meme and think nothing of it>It finds its way through socials and now it gets promoted every time someone makes a buy on something cryptographicI can't think of anything besides the 'stonks guy' meme, so it can't have been that good.
What is the best social media platform for your art journey?
>>8068818if you have a fetish for getting mass harassed and doxxed when it goes haywire sure. these people want to torment you naked in a cage
should I only be posting finished piece or do little spur of the moment doodles do well too? i never finish stuff so my account is basically inactive>>8077183you already have more comments than me

Hi everyone! I hope y'all are doing okay. ^^ I'm currently studying fine arts and I have a huge art block that I can't get through. I know that this is what I want to dedicate my life to, but I don't know what to do. I really need help. I'm so desperate...
>>8079094Artblock isn't a thing, it's an excuse used by lazy retards like you.
Don't draw if you have art block but do something that makes you feel differently. Art block is a negative loop from boredom to failure to regret to frustration then back to hope, but, if you're not emotionally recharged before the hope stage, you'll just be tired and directionless instead and get stuck between tiredness and frustration. Avoid blocks by taking breaks and dedicating yourself to something else you enjoy. I can stay in the frustration zone for many months at a time because I'm a wagecuck and I start feeling like I HAVE TO draw in my free time for life to be better. Instead it seems taking art off the pedestal is better for productivity than hopelessly grinding your face in the shit you produce in frustration.Its a waste of time, let it go. Get absorbed in to something different and get art off your mind entirely. I personally binge anime, read a chapter or 2 of random books and audio books, sometimes certain games. I avoid junk like livestreams and shorts, these seem to drain my battery instead of recharge it. Engaging with stuff that makes you feel strong positive emotions seems to be the key to breaking down a block.
>>80795781 neurotic thing to clarify though: I say don't draw at all till you're recharged, but you have to consider that rust sets in quick and your skills dimish.Just because you break a block down doesn't mean all the pieces instantly fall into place. You probably should do a little practice while resetting yourself, but keep it low effort and low expectation. This practice shouldn't be anything to judge yourself by, just something keep skills from completly dulling, otherwise you'll return with the new problem of having to relearn shit, getting bored and the negative cycle continues...
>>8079094I use stuff like dice or a jar of different clippings of various colors, textures, things like that to facilitate art if I need it. I put my hand in the jar, grab a few little paper clippings, toss them on the table, then copy that onto the canvas. Then I develop the art from there.
>imagine a scene in my head>it has a certain composition, atmosphere, colors, objects in specific placements etc>paint it roughly before it's gone from my head>looks nothing like what I imagined vibe-wise >have no idea how to fix it or what to do next >original scene is already starting to vanish from my headIs there a way to address this specifically
Yes.But I'm not telling you.
You should be able to imagine this
>>8078445Maybe if youre a fish
>>8078445Imagining it isn't an issue, not comprehending that looks like shit is an issue
>>8075923Keep a pocket notebook and pen, draw quick figure sketches of the vision and important elements. Make the thing. When it doesn't align, you need to figure out what is not aligning, respect this other thing you made, and this other thing has taught you about your skill gaps on the technical basis of art. The disatisfaction is the drive towards the skill acquisition. It's the same process as all skill and hobby development. You keep doing and accept the failures as lessons till you can do the thing you want to do. Boring answer but the truth.
Does anyone else regret not taking advantage of COVID and becoming a famous internet artist when low effort garbage got millions of likes
>>8079852You can get famous with AI right now.
no, I started drawing as a hobby because of covidit would be a few years before I even thought of posting anything
I'm only interested in drawing some robots and my specific kinks, so I don't think it'd make a difference for me. But the absence of ai slop in large amounts would for sure make it more enjoyable
Post pixel artwork. No AI. OC prefered. I made this one for my fellow game devs at /vg/agdg

>>8051487>>8060699for october 2027 i want to commission a 3D skaven ship from the same artist. i've been trying to come up with a good color palette for a skaven ship. this is in M10 scale but i want to do M36 scale and keep the ship at 169 meters, which would be a 6K image and totally doable. i'm working on online homework right now though
What are some artworks that accurately depict evil?No meme answers please
>>8062591>It's all a made up narrative for women to assume a victim role in a society that allowed them to be so obviously privileged, they tower even above the nobility of ancient times, essentially standing above the law.i think you once saw someone being kind to a girl instead of you and have been mindbroken since, this conversation clearly is not gonna go anywhere because you are not operating under rational thinking
>>8065569>the average onset of puberty for girls is like 10 for white girls and 8 for niggerpuberty takes multiple years to actually finish developing the body though, the process merely starting is not a good benchmark, specially because trauma or even just enviromental factors can trigger girls to start menstruating way earlier than that, you wouldn't say (in a post industrial society) that a boy becomes a man after their first ejaculation and insist that they are ready to go work at the factories, would you?
>>8072135atheists are more likely to be against circumcision, afterall, jesus literally was circumcised
>>8079842pedophilia is attraction towards prepubescent children, the average age of breast development for white girls is 9.7 and 8.8 for nogsat 12, which is the age being discussed, the average girl is 2 years away from fully developed secondary sexual characteristics and well beyond satisfying pedophilic interestthis has nothing to do with some retarded scenario about trauma-induced menstruation nor is it a debate on nether you should fuck kids if they can reproduce, a pedo is attracted to a prepubescent body by definition, whether you think pubescent kids should be fucked is irrelevant
I did this painting like a year ago that i think fits the evil theme
